“...western civilization is over and the muslims will once again rule the world for centuries.”

I think the Chinese will make short shrift of the muzz.

Here’s a good alternative. If someone is a legal US citizen, and they or their parents were from Mexico, we should call them “Americans”. If they are not legal US citizens, they should be called “Mexicans”, assuming they are Mexican citizens, or “Guatemalans”, etc.

By doing this, it clarifies things. These people are not US citizens, and they do not have legal papers to visit or have an extended stay in the United States.

As such, the US should provide them nothing other than deportation, any more than we should give money to their countrymen in their country. If they have taken services and goods from us they are not entitled to, as foreigners, we can choose to either bill them for the costs, or deport them and take the loss.

In either case, the most they should be afforded is the courtesy that we would afford any foreigner visiting the US who has broken our laws.

Are they “illegal aliens”? Technically, yes. But they are “citizens of Mexico”, and as such, need repatriation.

Fine Jose. I’ll stick with “illegal democrats” then. That eliminates the issue with the word, eh?
